The Workers' Party Secretary General Low Thia Khiang says the party is ready to contest the by-election in Punggol East.

Mr Low said his party will announce the candidate in due course and added that the logistics are ready for the by-election.

Speaking to the media before the start of his Meet-the-People Session this evening, Mr Low said that it is good that the Prime Minister has decided to call a by-election as soon as possible.

He said it is fair, so that residents of Punggol East can have a representative of their own.

On the possibility of facing a six-cornered fight, Mr Low said so far there are no plans to have a joint meeting with other opposition parties which have voiced their interest to contest the ward.
